Elloz :)
I must say, I reckon out of all the books I've read, LION was my favorite, being a illustrated children's book of impressive standards. Of course, into the illustrative genre of favorites, I'd also have to enter Arkham Asylum and most of the Hellboys. The tales of Chadam have also earned a place in my favorites.
The American spellings are due to the Autocorrect on the computer, whose settings I can't figure out how to change. Like a ringing telephone, a red jagged underline has to be answered...
I also apologize for my typos. I often type too fast to catch them, or the Autocorrect doesn't pick them up. I could blame mild brain damage, or the fact I only write without my glasses off in the early, bleak hours of the morning, but I won't.
On a side note (scrawled on a piece of envelope torn off a bill) - I've written a lot of stories that have to be severely edited, raped and then chopped into chapters before being uploaded and edited again on the site, before being loaded into a sensible order. It takes time, and effort. I'll put them all up eventually.
